Have you heard about Scrubs in the City yet? Now in its 13th year, the annual event has become one of Toronto’s most anticipated social events and has raised over $2.4 million for SickKids Hospital over the years,

As always, Scrubs in the City: Soiree Under the Stars will be an evening of fabulous fashion, food and entertainment. Don’t miss this year’s event, happening this Thursday, June 12th, 2014 to join Toronto’s philanthropic shining stars and light up Evergreen Brick Works.

Net proceeds from Soiree Under the Stars will support the SickKids Operating Suites Redevelopment Project. SickKids performs more than 12,000 surgeries annually to some of the most critically ill children from around the world — more than any other paediatric hospital in Canada.

SickKids hospital holds a special place in my heart as it’s where my baby cousin, Nigel, was treated while he battled a brain tumour at far too young of an age. This Thursday I will be attending not only remember Nigel, but support a cause that will help ensure the facilities that are needed to keep up with increased volume and complexity of surgeries are available to save young lives.
